On Friday, Erewash Borough Council leader James Dawson called him a “war hero” and praised his contributions. In May, Rose joined other veterans at a tea party marking 80 years since Victory in Europe Day. Born in 1914, Rose served in North Africa, Italy, and France, earning multiple medals, including France’s Legion d’Honneur.
